Of course the benefits of installs are usually bigger for open world games, but we haven't seen many open world games from our first party developers yet. I guess Infamous may be one of the first, we will see how this is handled.
However I want to point out that in no way do I see a mandatory install as a bad thing per se. If infamous can be a better game with a small part of the data installed on the harddrive, then I applaud this. The default harddrive is there to take advantage of, a couple of minutes install for a more impressive game can IMO be worth it.
